Penn, dismissing the polls


A real sign of the times: Mark Penn, Clinton's pollster and strategist who buried us for many months in polling data and memos, is now dismissing the polls.

Recent data on who's stronger against John McCain "don't actually represent the situation we would see in a general election," Penn said in a conference call with reporters, but rather reflect "enthusiasm and momentum."

"Last week they were all touting polls that showed her losing" in Massachusetts and California, he said, saying some polls had also been wrong in the run-up to her 2000 Senate victory.

Penn also made the explicit demographic case that Hillary's coalition of women and Latinos is in some sense more robust in a general election than Obama's, which relies, he said, on independents likely to desert him.

"Hillary Clinton has a coalition of voters well-suited to winning the general election," Penn said.

2. Right, and that's not a pizza stain on Mark Penn's shirt.

This guy makes Fat Bastard look like the GQ man of the month.

3. He's right

General election polls don't mean anything at this stage in the game.
